Visit the Routes to Rails Pilot Project

The Routes to Rails pilot project launched in early June and focuses on increasing access to routes the community will take to travel by light rail. Specifically, the pilot adds additional wayfinding signage to the Heron Rookery Trail. The pilot project will be active through June 28, and we encourage you to visit the pilot installation and share your feedback. There are signs at each end of the trail, where trail-goers can scan a QR code to take a brief questionnaire about their experience with the pilot. Completing the questionnaire gives you a chance to win a $50 gift card.

Review the Water Systems Plan

The Water System Plan ensures that the City continues to protect its underground drinking water resources and provides sufficient water storage and distribution to meet the drinking water, irrigation, and fire flow needs of residents and businesses over the next 20 years. The plan identifies areas in Redmond’s Water Utility System where reservoirs, pipes, pumps, and other water infrastructure need to be extended or replaced.
